      (I didn't see any mention of this, so making a post)

      • Used Raspberry pi Imager v1.4 to make Recalbox 7.1.1-Reloaded (Pi 4/pi 400) (released: 29.11.2020) version to microsd card
      • Put it in the Raspberry pi 4 b 8gb to let it configure it
      • Pop the microsd in to my windows 10 laptop
      • Go to disk management
      • See the "share" portion in the microsd drive
      • Right click it, and select "change drive letter and paths..."
      • Press "Add..."
      • "Assign the following drive letter:" should be selected automatically. Then press "ok".

      Then in my computer, you have a "share" drive, where you can add roms & stuff, and it works.

      If this works for everybody, then maybe add this info to the manual so people would have an easier time : )

      (2 pictures to show, how it works and how it looks after it)

        Wow, this works.
        This is fantastic - for people who have everything on microSD, this could be a game changer.

            When you plug your SD card to your PC, if the share doesn't appear that's because the letter is not assigned. Use Win10 or a soft like minitool-partition to assign one. And it will appear. It's a known issue.

              @Scavy Oukey. Why can't I easily find information about it in the recalbox documentation manual & notes? https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/basic-manual/file-management

                @Redsm0ke coz all the documentation is not updated, it's in progress, but this issue appears with the 7.0 version. Before, windows coudn't access the "share" on Pi0/1 version. Now we can 😉
